Ledebouria socialis, the silver squill, wood hyacinth, or leopard lily, is a geophytic species of bulbous perennial plant native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.

[2] John Peter Jessop later revised the genus Scilla and split off several species, reclassifying Scilla socialis into the genus Ledebouria in 1970.

[4] Ledebouria is named for Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1785–1851),[5] a botanist who published, among other things, the first complete Russian flora.

[6] Socialis means 'growing in pure stands', 'dominant', or 'growing in colonies'.
